Fedora is created for testing, not for everyday usage for normal people

Using Fedora will cripple their productivity
"Testing" == "Unstable" for most people here. Personally, I feel I'm closer to "normal people" than "nerd". I know more about computers than most people I know, but I am absolutely dwarfed by many slashdotters. I have not had to tweak Fedora to get it working at all. I turned off a few services, like bluetooth, but that doesn't require any skill. I couldn't customize iptables without quite a bit of reading. Granted, I couldn't get Fedora working on my Toshiba laptop, but this was not a short-coming limited solely to Fedora, either. I tried Ubuntu, Debian, SimplyMepis, Mandriva, OpenSUSE, Sabayon, PCLinuxOS and one or two more and they all had the same problem - unable to recognize the battery and shutdown 30 seconds after reaching the logon screen. Only Xandros would work on my laptop, but I don't like it enough to opt for that over Windows XP on my laptop. I very much doubt their productivity will be crippled since there are many people using Fedora whose productivity has not been crippled, myself included.
